Other than lacking a fancy name and graphics, it is well worth the cost. They also sell replacement pucks which are more economical if you do not need the plastic jar. I like purchasing Aussie products whenever .

Washpool No3 (Tallow, Shea butter and Lanolin, Unscented) is one of my "preferred'' soaps for Kamisori shaving, their No1 & 2 are scented but no Lanolin. Yes as @Phil Harmonica says, Aussie products whenever, (y)(y) up there if not better than more costly imported soaps, IMHO
